Instant Pot and Pressure Cooker Cooking Times

Pressure cooker cooking times for Instant Pot, Electric & Stove top pressure cookers for almost any kind of food – each time has been tested and proved to just-cook-food in all of these types of cookers!

UPDATE 6/30/2018: We have updated the time chart to include the pressure cooking times for the Instant Pot Mini, which operates at a lower pressure than most other electric pressure cookers – while this is not a big deal for most foods, the difference in cooking time is most noticeable for dense, tough foods such as beans, whole grains, and frozen foods.  The pressure ranges have been added to each column in both psi and kPA – this is because some user manuals will only state the cooker’s pressure using those units.  Keep in mind that, regardless of whether your pressure cooker is electric, or even an Instant Pot, it’s the operating pressure that will dictate the cooking time of foods in your pressure cooker.  

Also, since it might be difficult to find what you need in these growing tables, you can easily “hide” the pressure cooking times not relevant to your cooker, by clicking on the “Column Visibility” button above the table.

common_pressure_settingsIt is important to use a digital timer  or timer app for keeping track of pressure cooking minute, by minute, especially for quick-cooking vegetables and fruits.

The cooking time listed is sometimes divided into High and Low pressures. Each manufacturer has their own specific High and Low pressures, consult your manual to be sure. I have noted the most common pressure ranges for these settings in this illustration.

Maximum Filling Guidelines

Always respect the filling guidelines – not following them could affect the pressure cooker’s safety mechanisms! This rule applies to both electric and stove top pressure cookers.

Pressure Cooker Maximum Fill Levels Max 1/2 Full for Beans, Rice, Grains, Dehydrated Foods and Fruit – These foods either expand during cooking or generate lots of foam (or both). Beans can swell to twice their size during cooking and some grains even more.  They also generate lots of foam and bubbles – which climb up the sides of the cooker to block or spray out of the valves.

Max 2/3 Full for Everything Else – Foods that don’t generally get any larger during cooking, bubble or foam are in this category and this includes meats, vegetables, soups and stocks.

If your recipe has lots of different ingredients, say a soup with vegetables and some beans, then you can go up to 2/3 full but if you’re cooking only one primary ingredient, say a bean chili, then you should respect that ingredient’s maximum capacity – 1/2 full .

Timing Adjustments for High-Altitude Pressure Cooking

atmospheric_pressure_by_altitudeThe pressure inside the cooker is affected by external pressure. If you live a high-altitude the cooking time for pressure-cooked foods will also be affected.

formula to adjust high-altitude pressure cooking times

Increase pressure cooking time by 5% for every 1000 ft above 2000 ft elevation (see table, below). Multiply the recommended cooking time by the number on the table. The result will likely be a decimal value just round that up to the next minute.

Stove top Pressure Cooker Adjustments for Heat Source

  • Electric or Halogen Cooktop– Since these cooktops do not change temperature quickly and could result in scorching the food. Start the pressure cooker on a high-heat burner while pre-heating a low-heat burner. When the cooker reaches pressure, turn off the high-heat burner and carefully move the cooker to the low-heat burner to maintain pressure.
  • Induction Cooktop– Bring cooker to pressure on medium heat setting, supervise for the first few minutes at pressure as the cooker may need additional adjustments. Then lower the heat setting to maintain pressure
  • Gas Cooktop– Bring cooker to pressure on high flame (that is not larger than the cooker base) and  when the cooker reaches pressure lower the flame to low or medium low (depending on your model) to maintain it.

*Cooking time for either soaked or quick-soaked Beans
**Testing did not find any variance in cooking time between the cooking time for soaked beans cooked at a lower pressure which is why a single time is provided for cookers that operate anywhere between 9-12 psi/ 70-80 kPa). This is likely because soaked beans are more tender - and pressure cooking time is determined by the size and density of an ingredient.

NOTE: The variance between the cooking times of stovetop and electric pressure cookers are small - that's because electric pressure cookers continue to cook the beans during their a longer Natural Release opening (compared to stovetop).
